Default 2018 KLX250 Looking for Aftermarket Exhaust but where are the maps?

So I recently picked up a 2018 KLX 250 and love it! After putting a 13 tooth front sprocket on, am looking for a little more power. Power Commander says they don't have an aftermarket map for for the FI model yet. I was wondering what might happen if I put an aftermarket exhaust on (FMF or Yoshimura) and keep the stock fueling map or should I just wait until a map comes out. Any thoughts?

What's a PCV? Sorry I'm a noob with this bike and dirtbikes in general.

Who makes aftermarket exhausts for the Euro bikes and where can I get a map for them? Is there a European Power Commander like Le Commandant de Puissance or Das Befehlshaber der Macht?

PCV = Power Commander 5

Here are the only maps I could find for the euro bikes, kinda slim pickings:

Have you linked the Clutch switch wires yet? that enables a second map in the stock ECU , gives you full power in higher gears . I'm running a FMF Q4 on my 2014 klx250 efi , no issues with it .

I hadn't tried linking the wires yet. Are you talking about this mod?
